Hard Disk Question

When looking at the console view i see that i have 20000MB worth of space, however, when I am running the guest machine and check the properties in windows on the C drive I see that the used space is 7.11, free space is only 697MB. That is a problem for me, how do I fix this???

Thanks!!

 

sorry,
i'm not quite sure what did you mean under console view?

 

I meant property page view..Hard Disk 1 20000MB

 

ok, now i undestand,
whether disk C is the single disk partition that uses whole virtual disk?

 

I thought it was a single disk partition. I do not have any under disks shown in windows. I am rapidly running out of space, but I am surely not getting all 20GB

 

try to open Disks manager and check with it whether non allocated disk's space presents

 

not to sound like an idiot, but what do you mean by disk manager?

 

under Windows go to:
Control Panel->Administrative tools->Computer management->Disk management

 

7.80 GB NTFS, and 11.73 Unallocated.

 

so, it's answer to your question:
you have now NTFS partition of 7.8 Gb and rest disk space is unallocated. Try to resize disk C but i'm not sure that disk manager let to do this on busy volume. Another case is to create another disk and use it as storage.

 

thanks for your help. any chance you can help me on my external hard drive question...on my other thread?
